But don't worry, it had nothing to do with sex! And if it had, it wouldn't have been Dumbledore but his trouser monster - so there!
It was a really blatant clue about how important backstory is to the books--sometimes it's there to cover up the lack of story. Fact is, the back story made for much more interesting story than the supposed main story did, so I'm not sure we should complain about it. There might have been MORE Hermione cringing and Harry self-pitying and rampant idiocy in all quarters otherwise.
